Finally I see and test drive a lighting.. California..

My dealer has a pro lifted 2" on front with some big tires. The test drive was just as I expected after watching a million YouTube videos, my only surprise was actually feeling that roller coaster sensation in you gut. I got to see a managers lack Lariot also and it looks awesome, the rims are cool but I will be getting star white I will powder coat them all black or white with black inserts. Why Ford put those grey color rims on all color trucks is a mistery to to me. The Pro did jerk the steering wheel pretty bad when I punch it, the salesman said it was the oversized tires. The 1 pedal drive is awesome and I will be using it 1st day for sure, my wife hated it. I did ask the salesman why they put those tires on there and he said "honestly for profit margin" . I guess there not planning on to much of a markup if they have to add tires. This dealer is awesome and have no ADM on ordered vehicles.

What was your impression of the Pro interior?

My wife thought it was leather and that it was comfortable. Me I would be perfectly happy with it, looks very durable and easy to clean. Well it looks like it would be hard to get dirty. I have a 04 Lariat and the back seat leg room looks smaller than the Lightning, is it possible the cab is bigger from o4 to 22?

The 2" lift seems to be a higher ride height than my o4 Lariat 4x4.
I'm sure they will have no problem finding a sale after the 6 months.

If they are following the lead of some of the dealers by me, they are heavily accessorizing their mannequins so they can charge more when they are able to sell them.

So it's a way for dealers to justify charging way over ?

Yes. There’s a lot of margin in dealer installed accessories.

I don't know about "way over", but that's why my dealers PRO mannequin had a bed tray and tonneau cover installed right after they received it.

I contacted Folsom Lake Ford (Sacramento area) and they said their demo unit should arrive over the weekend. Might drive to take a look. Never owned a fullsize truck, excited. However, I might have to sell it early next year.

I test drove another Pro with the stock tires and rims today at another dealer Fritts Ford Riverside California. They say no ADM but when I was looking for no ADM I was told different. There
Pro is not for sale for 6 months.

The pro did not jerk the steering wheel when punching the accelerater like it did with the lifted and bigger tires Pro I drove at my dealer.
